| 2067 | Article | Hoju Koolander | As only a casual fan of The Lion King and Disney animation in general, I thought this was a pretty cool little behind the scenes look at what could have been. I appreciated the mention of the fanfic as well, it's a pretty fascinating world of fandom out there. | Mar 07, 2015 |  | |
| 2066 | Article | Hoju Koolander | @pikachulover Of course you do! If your collection ever goes up on eBay I'll be the first in line to snag your Phroompf doll and those booklets at a "reasonable price". @Vaporman87 That's a good point. From my research there was a Napoleon figure in the Bill and Ted line that never actually made it to store shelves. Not that the kids were really clamoring to get a tiny dictator to re-enact historical battles with. @NLogan Leave it tour resident detective to pull this one out. I was actually going to mention that in the article, but I figured 2 paragraphs was more than enough for a toy line most of us ignored. It is hilarious though. Mattel pulled a similar stunt when they repurposed a bunch of The New Adventures of He-Man toys for the Demolition Man figures a few years later. | Kenner Action Toy Guide '91 | Mar 07, 2015 | |
| 2072 | Article | Hoju Koolander | @thecrow174 Glad to hear you enjoyed Ready to Rumble too, "Crown me, King!" There was definitely a competition on merch between Goldberg and Stone Cold during those few years, but Austin;s legacy burns brightest in retrospect. Still, I love Goldberg's catch phrase, "Who's next?!" @comic_book_fan Razor Ramon was such an iconic character. To this day, I can't pick up a toothpick without wanting to flick it in somebody's face and call them "Chico". During his Scott Hall days, my favorite bits were when he started his promos with, "Hey yo, survey time..." | Wrestling with the 90's | Mar 11, 2015 | |
| 2082 | Article | Hoju Koolander | That was pretty great and your Dad in his underwear seems like something right out any 90s kids comedy. I wouldn't be surprised if there are forums and ancient chat rooms devoted to sightings of The Dinosaur Kid. He sounds like he could fit right in with Sasquatch or El Chupacabra. So was there a sequel to this story? Did you ever run across this mythic creature again? | The Dinosaur Kid | Mar 17, 2015 | |
| 2083 | Article | Hoju Koolander | I totally know the Kimberly boots you were talking about. Your teacher may not have been hip, but at least she wasn't ancient, trying to tie in some contemporary themes. | Apathetic Chorus | Mar 17, 2015 | |
| 2100 | Article | Hoju Koolander | @everybody All good suggestions. I considered Mr. Drummond and even Mrs. Garret (who spun off from Diff'rrent Strokes to The Facts of Life) as sort of a gender-bias challenging option, but in the end I had to go with the Dads I knew best. Jason Seaver (played by Alan Thicke, who wrote the theme songs to both previously mentioned shows) never really had a chance, he was just too cool for school to register as a Dad to me. I actually went back and forth between Dan from Roseanne and Mr. Arnold a lot, but a Dad from the 60s portrayed in the 80s was just too iconic to pass up. As for Tony, he gets points for having a hot daughter, but I never learned any parenting skills from the man. | Top 5 TV Dads of the 80's | Mar 19, 2015 | |
| 2101 | Article | Hoju Koolander | @Vaporman87 there was a Dad on The Hogan Family? I only caught it sporadically during the Sandy Duncan Years, but I could have sworn it was about a widow raising her boys. That's crazy. | Top 5 TV Dads of the 80's | Mar 19, 2015 | |
| 2102 | Article | Hoju Koolander | Interesting overview of a decade. You are about the same as as my niece, so when you mentioned Wishbone I remember watching that with her at age 4 or so (keep in mind, I was only 12 or 13). I used to call him "Fishbone" just to mess with her. I loved when Ghost Writer would follow, definitely more my style. I was never fooled by the shows that tried to make learning "fun" like Bill Nye or Beakman. At least Mr. Wizard was as boring as any science teacher, so you knew what you were getting. | What the Nineties Mean to Me | Mar 19, 2015 | |
| 2128 | Article | Hoju Koolander | Brought back some memories here. One town over from where I grew up was the first time I experienced the joys of the $1.99 Store (yep, they used to get an extra dollar out of us and call it a deal). My favorite items were these orange guns that you could actually cock and shoot foam yellow bullets out of. I convinced all my buddies to get their parents to take them there and gear up so we could have shoot outs in my friend's living room. They were the best toy guns I ever owned. | Poor Kids Toybox | Mar 21, 2015 | |
| 2129 | Article | Hoju Koolander | Ha, at first I thought you played racing games exclusively, but then you threw in Command and Conquer so I could relate. My older brother was a big PC Gamer and it was at his house that I played classics like Lemmings, Kings Quest 1-4, Wolfenstein 3-D, Duke Nukem and Doom. Those Encarta videos were a revelation at the time, that's for sure. | My Favorite PC Games of the 90's | Mar 21, 2015 | |
